Hello everyone.
I am a recent transplant from Seattle. Back there I had fished small rivers and lakes for trout, and large rivers or Puget Sound for Steel head and Salmon.
I am an avid fly fisherman, I tie some of my own flies, and build some of my own rods. I fish as an activity, not a sport. I enjoy the time on the water and the overall experience.
Since I am new, and staying in Stamford, does anyone have a suggestion or two were I could go and wet a line this weekend? I brought along a 4, 6 and 8wt rod with a mix of floating and sinking lines.
Would appreciate a few pointers, and if any wants some company I would be happy to drive, pay for gas, or bring lunch,
Looking forward to my team here on the East Coast.
Mike |

Welcome to the Site and the East Coast!
I'm affraid I will not be able help to you as far as trout fishing, as I mostly fish freshwater bass tournaments these days, but I'm sure there are plenty of people on this site that can help you find the fish you seek.
Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!!! Like said before, stick to catch and release for bass, and pike. Keep alllll the trout you want as far as I'm concerned. (as long is it's within the limit)

Welcome! I'm also not a big trout enthusiast, but you should pick up an angler's guide and get on google and see whats around you for streams and rivers.
Spots that I've seen/heard produce big trout and/or salmon:
Devil's Hopyard
Farmington River
Cedar Lake-Chester
Candlewood Lake
Chatfield Hollow
Valley Falls
Mosquitos work well. So do any kind of streamers/wooly buggers too.
Hope this helps you get started here!! |
